Tom Hanks Treated a Bunch of Strangers to Burgers

Tom Hanks is known for his nice-guy onscreen persona. Judging from his behavior during a fast-food stop the other week, he may be every bit as nice off-screen as well.

When the actor and his wife, Rita Wilson, stopped by an In-N-Out Burger in Fontana, California, shortly before Christmas, he was apparently super approachable – patiently posing for selfies with the other burger-loving patrons.

“He is such a nice guy taking pictures with everyone,” wrote one Instagrammer lucky enough to be on the scene and snap a series of photos, including one of Hanks snapping a selfie with other customers. “He told us Merry Christmas … And I went over and talked to his wife Rita while Tom took pictures with everyone!”

Before he left, Hanks even made a point of paying for the meals of several cars in the drive-thru lane.

Someone captured a video of that moment. “Hi, Mr. Hanks! Thank you! Have a good Christmas!” a fan could be heard yelling to the actor, chicly clad in black shirt and slacks and sunglasses, yet wearing down-to-earth-looking brown shoes.

“You have to say, ‘Give me a four-by-four animal style,’” Hanks once told Conan O’Brien during an appearance on his show, the local paper reports. “You have to speak a special language, if you know what I’m talking about.”
